t of opinions is targeted by the legal system for all the crimes. Now, I don't know if the Tate brothers did any crimes. Like I said, it's not my job to defend their character or their history or anything else. I'm just saying we live in a world where my first assumption is it's probably fake. Isn't that terrible? My first assumption, which I still keep, that's my current assumption, is it's proba…
← Previous segment →ut take it now, I'd probably do it. And then I'd say I'd save the country a bunch of money on Social Security, and then they could use that for other people because my situation isn't like other people.
And maybe I say to myself, you know what, I don't know if Social Security will go away someday. I'll just take half now, and you know because it's not going to be the deciding point of whether I have a good life. So I'll save you some money, the country, by taking half. Would you say yes to that? Who loses? Who's a loser in that deal? If I willingly say you know I'll be fine with half and you get to keep some of your money, your tax money that would have gone to me, are you happy?
So I wonder if there are other things like that. For example, could you say to some young people, you know young people, we've been doing this ordinary Social Security thing but if you'd like, it's purely optional, you can have your Social Security put into let's say the stock market into an ETF, nice diversified American ETF so that you'd be well diversified and you would do as well as the country. And if you opted into it and you don't have to, you might make way more money because you got stock. But we would only give you maybe less. We would give you less but you could have it in stock. Would anybody go for that? Probably would. Would it work out for the people who said yes I'll take stock? Yeah, if they're 25, wouldn't they? Probably, because stock tends to be a better idea than most things in the long, long, long run.
So I like Trump being honest enough to say there's a lot that can be done, meaning that you can't just let it run forever. Something has to be done. We all know that. But I'd like to see him get creative. I think it's time for that. Like really, really think about all the ways the free market and maybe some kind of a gambling network and some kind of an alternative situation. I bet there is a lot that can be done.
Anyway, what I'd like to see is some new legislation to give all of our Social Security money to undocumented migrants. So it'd be a bill that says we'll just stop paying Social Security to all citizens and we'll just give all that money to undocumented immigrants.
Now the reason I want that is not because I want it to pass. That'd be crazy. That'd be crazy, people. I don't want to give all my Social Security money away to undocumented migrants. There'll just be more of them. But what I do want to see is that legislation floated to see who votes for it. I just want to see who votes for it just to find out like how many people are not even trying. Because it doesn't seem like we've got to a situation where it's not so much difference of opinion. Does it feel to you like there's a philosophical difference of opinion between the Democrats and the Republicans? Not always. Sometimes yes, not always.
What it looks to me is some people are not even trying or they're trying to destroy the country or they're bad or crazy. So let's just create, much the way you've heard the stories about the people who ran pranks on the scientific reviews. So I think it's been done more than once where people would write totally fake scientific papers, just ridiculous stuff, to see if they can get it peer-reviewed and accepted and published. And sure enough they can get it peer-reviewed and accepted and published. And then it tells the public, oh this is what's going on. Very useful because once you learn that half of the scientific studies are just fake, you know, gives you some perspective.
So I'd like to do the same thing. Come up with some fake legislation to give all of our Social Security money, every single penny of it, to undocumented migrants and then just watch who says yes. You don't think half of the squad is going to say yes because it's whatever is worse for the country. They seem fairly consistent about doing why? I don't know.
Well, over in England the National Health Service has decided to ban puberty blockers for kids. So kids who want to transition, they're not going to be able to get their puberty blockers. And the reason is that they just think it's too dangerous health-wise. Isn't working out risk-reward wise.
And I'm kind of bored with the whole trans thing. Every time I have to talk about it I feel like I'm being manipulated because there's nothing I care less about than the trans issues. I love the trans community. Yeah, big fan of the LGBTQ community. Love them all. Would love them to live the best life that they can put together for themselves. And it's not up to me to tell anybody how to live for the adults.
But what's interesting to me about this is that it seems to me that every American kid from this day forward has a lawsuit. And

I'm no lawyer but let me just trot this out, see if any of the real lawyers agree with this. It would be one thing if your doctor gave you a treatment and he honestly or she honestly believed it was good for you. That's fine. And then if things go wrong, well that's just the real world. I wish I hadn't but things went wrong. But what happens when probably every doctor who's in this space in Ameri…
